HEAT AND FLAME

Facing environments where flash fires or flames are present requires gear that can withstand intense heat and fire without compromising movement or comfort. Firefighters facing multiple heat exposures, along with police, soldiers and technical rescue teams who face the possibility of incidental flame impact, must all be durably protected against these threats.

DESIGNED TO PROTECT
PPE with Gore protective fabrics has been rigorously tested to ensure it performs and protects as intended in a range of scenarios.

Firefighting and Technical Rescue

Gear needs to provide protection against flames and exposure to high temperatures.

Defense

To safeguard against the unexpected, defense forces require gear that can protect against sudden or incidental flame, as well as instances of flash fire, while keeping the wearer comfortable.

Workwear

Electric utility workers need PPE offering weather protection in combination with protection against heat, flame and the thermal hazards of electric arc.
